Studying Diagnostic Medical Sonography at Weber State
Weber State’s diagnostic medical sonography degree prepares students to become highly skilled and certified professionals who operate ultrasound equipment and produce anatomic and dynamic images of organs, tissues, pregnancies and vascularity needed for patient management and diagnosis.
Diagnostic Medical Sonography Highlights
Once accepted to one of Weber State’s diagnostic sonography programs, you can complete your bachelor’s degree within four semesters.
There are two emphases within this program students may choose as their focus.
- Medical sonography focuses on abdominal, vascular, gynecological, and obstetrics anatomy and scanning.
- Cardiac Sonography focuses on heart and vascular anatomy and scanning.
Certified sonographers who work within the profession and would like to earn a degree may qualify for an accelerated specialty program or independent study. Independent study allows students to complete their degree online and at their own pace.
The School of Radiologic Sciences is regularly among the top programs recognized nationally by professional peers.
Beyond the Classroom
As a diagnostic medical sonography major, you’ll gain practical experience through 24 hours of clinical education per week at a local healthcare facility. Clinical placements are determined by site availability and are dependent on whether you seek to apply for the campus or regional program. Campus students are placed by WSU faculty within the state of Utah, and regional students find clinical affiliates close to where they live outside of Utah.
